Courses
How a Fuxam course brings learning journey, content, attendance, grades, and communication into one LMS space — for students and teachers.
A course in FuxamLMS is the central place where teaching and learning meet. Content lives in the learning journey, sessions appear on the course calendar, grades and analytics sit beside the participant list, and chat or Drive keep the cohort connected. Whether you are a student progressing through blocks or a teacher shaping the path, the course is the shared workspace for that offering.
Courses are created and enrolled administratively in OrgHub (FuxamCMS). Day-to-day learning happens here in the LMS course shell: open the course, use the tabs your role and settings allow, and work through the journey.
How this fits into Fuxam
A course sits between institutional planning and the student experience. Administrators define the course, enrollments, and often high-level settings in Course management. Teachers and students then work inside the LMS course for content, attendance, grades, and communication.

Student view vs teacher view
The same course URL serves different experiences depending on role and permissions. Use the tabs below as a quick orientation; each child page goes deeper.
Students open the course to follow the learning journey: start or continue, open published blocks, respect due dates and conditions, and watch progress. They use Calendar to see sessions and check in, Chat and Drive when those features are on, and find published grades through course grades or their personal records. They do not see the journey editor, Course Settings, or Analytics unless their permissions allow it.
Teachers and course editors build and run the course: edit the learning journey (Table, Student, and Path views), add content blocks, manage appointments and attendance, enter and publish grades, and review analytics when available. Users with permission to change course settings configure which features are active and which learning journey source the course uses.
